This town is wild and wonderful and full of a diverse population. This subreddit welcomes strangeness like sasquatch and satanic gatherings. You are aware a portion of the population uses twitter, even though it rarely gets posted, why quiet them? You might be next.

I was wanting to apply to the hospitals around here but don’t really know anybody who can give their opinion. I’m considering resource pool for the residency program at Prov but I’m a little worried it might be too overwhelming? I’m thinking about applying to Regional and ANMC as well

I’ve heard mixed reviews about all of them but there’s been a lot of changes lately so I’m not sure what it’s like. I heard good things about Prov’s residency program but I heard a lot of nurses are leaving because of the virtual nursing. If anybody can give me some insight about any of the hospitals or where it would be good to start that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Well - let’s make education even worse. Give money to home schooling, eliminate more teachers and cut all sports. What’s wrong with this State?

Looking for a place to stay in Anchorage. I want wondering if this was a rough area or decent place to live?

My partner got this today. If ANHC goes away, it will put tremendous pressure on the ER system in the state. Call your representatives and tell them this is very bad for Alaskans.

We moved to a condo that includes Dish… There is a weird cable-style scrolling channel guide on channel 7, not interactive. Wondering if there is any online channel guide that you know of? I tried TV Guide and it had Dish Anchorage as an option but the channels didn’t match up. We have a Hisense Roku TV. There is no program information displayed when you land on a channel. Frustrating! Is there anything We can do or source for learning how to make this a bit more user friendly? TIA! Edit: I had old fashioned roof antenna where we lived before and that’s how we got local TV, which I must have. Dish in this new place is the only way (so far) I can figure how to get local TV.

Hi Anchorage! I moved my car up here for the lower 48 and it is not agreeing with these temperatures! It seems like every time we have one of these freezing cold spells my temperature gauge in my cylinder's blow. I have a 2014 Ford escape and this has happened twice now and it only happens in this frigid cold weather. I was advised to get an engine block heater installed and I was told buy a local mechanic that my car can't get one. I was them advised to maybe consider an oil pan heater but that doesn't sound like it's going to help with the top of the engine problems like my blown gauges. But what do I know, I am nowhere close to anything that resembles a mechanic! This is not my area of expertise and that's why I'm asking for advice lol.

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with heated engine blanket? I have access to a plug right by my parking spot in my apartments so I could easily plug it in, but I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations as to what I can do to help my car limp through these cold seasons until I can get enough positive equity in it to trade it in.

This car has been a real Chad and so my ultimate goal is to trade it in so I am looking for a cost effective solution. And, I already have an automatic start installed. Thank you so much for your knowledge Anchorage!

My husband and I don’t go out and eat much (actually at all in last 10 years)..because we are kinda anti-social and shy. What Japanese restaurants are recommended for a cozy romantic like setting that won’t break the bank? Not anywhere downtown please.

The Turnagain Bore Tide RFC and Anchortown Women’s Rugby are starting practice on Tuesday at 8:00, February 4th at the Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center in Eagle River.

The 2 clubs are brother and sister clubs. We share the turf field indoors for separate practices.

All experience levels are welcome.

Soccer or rugby cleats are recommended. No baseball cleats allowed.

DM me if you have any questions.

I have not checked them all but incase anyone cares, most of the Fred Myers in the Anchorage area do not carry American Flag. I asked why, and they did reassure me that with the new changes that they are considering carry them now.

Hi, So ORileys kinda put me in a bad spot and now my car is totaled. I just started a new job and was seasonal before this so I don't have the employment history most places want and am broke as hell right now. Any spots in town that would do 0% down? I have a good credit score but i'm just scared of getting screwed over. I know it's a stupid ask but still.

Some websites work, some don't

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've never applied for a passport before. It is my understanding you schedule an appointment for getting one at the post office in Anchorage. My question is, do they keep/mail your documents (birth certificate, id) until your passport is processed? I'm really not comfortable not having my documents for a few weeks.

I’ve only been here for a couple months and there has been so much police activity in this building. Tell me I’m not crazy

Got my green paper with a roughly 8% increase in assessed value. I know everything went up but seeing this made me read the fine print about the appeal process. Have any of you filed an appeal? Fine print says I’ve gotta have proof and/or meet the assessor at my property how does it all work?

Businesses also

Trump today said he’s not sure if oil will be part of the tariffs or not, depends on how he feels this evening (not making that up).

One thing is certain, costs are going up.

Hi I saw a new store called K-Beauty forever down in dimond next to Benji’s. I wanted to go inside and see since I love korean products, but I think it might’ve been closed since the blinds were shut. Does anyone know when they open and if it’s like a store or salon?

My mom has a bad back and will need to borrow a wheelchair. Does anybody have any suggestions on what we could do that’s fun and out of the house that would be wheelchair friendly?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Driving around and looking through pictures everything seems gray or beige. It feels very drab and bleak. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Title!

GCI sucks balls as we know. I believe using a VPN will counteract that. GCI is acting up now but I bit the bullet and downloaded a VPN. Everything works perfectly now.

I currently pay 192$ monthly for wifi through gci and they can’t even have two days go by without an outage. I work from home and this morning went to pay my bill I now can’t, can’t join my work zoom call, can’t even use my tv. In all honesty and I mean this with every ounce of hatred in my heart I’m done with gci. Either fix your issues or leave Alaska at this point.

What's it like working as an Amazon driver in Anchorage?

Hey Anchorage! I have a teenage daughter (17) who is currently homeschooled and wanting to meet new people/make friends. She’s right at the age where she’s too old for a lot of kid things, but also not quite an adult. We thought about meetup groups but it appears you have to be 18 to join. Anyone know of anything around this town that might be available for us to check out and give a try? Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Long shot, I know but not too long after NP moved to their current space, they had some really good pastries. Specifically, they sold this delicious pumpkin pie sweetened with (I think) honey. If anyone has a recipe for this, I’d very much appreciate it. This was in the era of delicious salad and hot food bar (the Mac and cheeses!)
